Jesus Is a Dying Bedmaker 2

 

                           weary of lesse prise among us & coste to go & lying spiritts.
Be Godly, live in the world, to approve of theire

                                                                              trail

can take the boy out of the country
but     and in some corner still is darkness
awaiting bells and the caduceus

                        servants the Church & inmates, & helpe otherwise, & to go & others, not
onely to fly into but the faith of great consequence to

running heathen chesapeake herring shad
rockfish we can dress in surplice and king
takes bishop takes the wind out giving chase

                     the Adventurers to entertaine servants, parents to frown upon the ministry
of the faith of his prophetts among us short, do threaten evill times to

jesus you are so apocalyptic
in the seraglio of my blue soul
little bunny froo froo of being here

                      of Gods people, in hand which he meanes to be an horse or two of false
prophetts & as man, who knowes, but to run

in the new world on quark    american strand
this Iland, which is but as a Suburbs
and      a Bridge, a Gallery to the new

                         serious advise & provide tabernacles & others, not use of great use to
hinder the enterprise but that God hath provided this place to lie

SACRED GEOGRAPHY care of Hakluyt
care of first fruits of virginia smoke up
Virginia 's God be thanked    we're coming round

                        lesse prise among us & of so as man, who knowes, but that children, all
this, to cut us short, do threaten evill times to

                                                                   trail

So also did the Church by going west
Still eastward go; because it drew more near
To time and place, where judgement shall appear

                          so many of her Inhabitants, so many unnecessary yea unlawfull trades to
mainetaine their prayers for removinge the Church of it. It appeares to helpe

gallery galley galleon gallows
the shallows    the gentlemen of the pit
even to the uttermost part & co.

                          an acre or a refuge for her Inhabitants, so as man, who is the earth we
treade upon, & of habitation, etc, (many men spending

your
little Sister,
this Plantation

                          & we stand striving here more willingly in another Country) & thus it will
be a worke of Land, it would procure them of theire

                                                                                 trail

your little sister this long yard you run

                          coming upon us, whom he hath provided this Plantation , for places of
man to lie waste without any such as are forced by his

at the hand of chief opechancanough
most american    8 years a christian
and after that    picking up the field mice

                         & neighbors, especially if they be the Plantation & in wealth & who
knowes, but the ministry of great consequence to save out of his

tidewater let's say of every mission
mission tidewater    the sheet my lord pulls
beneath my chin as I am shivering

                         by their serious advise & in hand which if they be the Statute against
she comes thether This Land grows weary of all townes

in my cold clothes soaked to the american
bone    marked with every sin come against it
mission tidewater of the conversion

                         habitation, etc, (many men spending as are knowne to the scandall of so
much. Labour & provide tabernacles & to his Church, in wealth

as there is no american only
converts and bigger converts and modded
maddened madding around mappe mundi
tidewater missions up in smoke    dear lord

 

…

 

lord should faith give me something given
to stand on plant on grow on    own defend
turn my skin into    turn into my skin

                         good of our people, as man, who is come to interest themselves in wealth \
& as good or a worke can there be, then an expectancy

this american gift    the tidewater
       blind benny paris & wife:
                         i'm going to sing a song and
                         the subject of this song is hide me
                         in the blood
should I be hidden in the tidewater

                         he meanes to be the enterprise but the Lord revealeth his owne children,
servants to encourage his wise & to interest themselves in their owne

or when they put the jesuit on that cross
and sent him over iguassu falls    that was moving
what did that mean

                         live in hand which if they be hard & base commit that God hath some in
hand which is here

dying bed    the death of    the death instinct
versus blues harp utopian verses
jesus is my air-o-plane    co-pilot
to what
place

                         foode for removinge the prophetts, it will be coming upon us then should
we stand striving here more life to go & in their prayers

what confluence of singing and mourning
        rev. w.m. mosley:
                         wanna sing a song tonight
                         subject of this song
                         if I follow jesus    am I right

                         to helpe otherwise, & of her against she comes thether This Land grows
weary of the greatest burthens, which he hath provided this Plantation , for

what gospel blues    meaning good news gone bad
without the benefit of fantasies
of heaven    or even the high prospect
of being
right

                         of all townes complaine of worldly & sinister respects which if thinges
were right would be Godly, live in another Country & provide tabernacles & thus

once the colony has foundered

                         the Adventurers to join the Church hath provided this Plantation , for
places of the authoritie of lesse prise among us, whom he doth not

being between quarks    being between zeitgeists
being between malaises    being angstrom'd out

                         tabernacles & coste to hinder the welfare of false prophetts & to recover or
better in it. It appeares to fly into those parts of darkness

to too serene / nazarene / vacillating
luberal me to you galilee
like the long basin of superfauna

                         us, whom he hath disposed the Church of man to join themselves in their
persons &c., estates, other by authority to mainetaine them, & convenient

vertebra by vertebra by this old
hollers of us    there goes the neighborhood
down to lesbos    singing all this death blues

                         two of our people, in another Country & neighbors, especially if thinges
were right would be Godly, live in that God hath stirred up

towards arrival    that is make it easy
jesus make up my dying

because I am cold in these clothes despicable day respectable day
sun cloud sun rain lonesome at home star cloud leaf cloud
staring across the lanes into that lonesome yard getting mowed
overgrowing covered in snow sunburned cloudy under
shadows of wires    splat with crabgrass here and there
getting plowed in the sun where once was sea that guy
my neighbor who wears dew rags always cutting hedges
always by always as “some infinite thing” like the waters
and the patriotic hunker – as in I will always be I
in this head or out of it jesus my head full of waters
my american head I must not park on dry grass or leaves
have I always believed or was I converted – towards
what conversations await    what customs

                         a sheep: masters are forced by his secret to fly into but the prophetts, but
to approve of so as good of it. It appeares

some children are left

                         to the history of belief which is
me asking is my faith like this set of claws phonograph
skipping in the run out groove of sgt. peppers never
could see any other way never could see any other way

for every man that prints adventures says donne
apropos of the uttermost parts of the earth which is
a stage where are performed acts    and gentile darknesses

 

in places    speeches made in the east telegraphed west
to the Naturals of the place    not arriving but partially
arrived    not ascending but one foot in the clouds

 

cum actu ascendisset so men tye lead to their feet
and when they are laying hand-fast upon Abrahams
bosome, they must pull their hand to obey importunities

  

IN this world OR OF this world    in other words…
if you seeke to establish a temporall kingdome
you are not rectified liberty needing no one, &c.

 

O, if you could once bring a catechisme to bee as
good ware amongst them as a bugle, as a knife, as a hatchet

if you could submit yourself tidewater missionary
to mother lover jesus turning down the bed
a friendly voice said
you could submit to anything and have more joy

awash in my banalities
giggling from the teeth outward
I am of this world but seldom
in it

not the big lawn nothing but real estate
lots of citizens    little tidewater
